How to Install a Network Appliance NAS Device in a
Cluster

Before You Begin

Your cluster nodes have the operating system and Sun Cluster
software installed.

You have the HTTP administrator login and password for the
NAS device.

Set up the NAS device.

You can set up the device
at any point in your cluster installation. Follow the instructions in your
device's documentation. See Related Third-Party Web Site References for a list of related device documentation.

Install the NAS-support software package NTAPclnas on
each node in the cluster.

Perform this step after you have installed
the Solaris OS and the Sun Cluster software.

If this is the first
NAS device in your cluster, or if you need to upgrade the NAS-support software
package, perform this step. See Related Third-Party Web Site References for instructions about downloading and installing
this software.

On each cluster node, add the NAS device name to the /etc/inet/hosts file.

Add a hostname-to-address mapping for the device
in the /etc/inet/hosts file on all cluster nodes. For
example:

netapp-123 192.168.11.123

On each cluster node, add the device netmasks to the /etc/inet/netmasks file.

Add an entry to the /etc/inet/netmasks file
for the subnet the filer is on. For example:

192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0

Verify that the hosts and netmasks entries
in /etc/nsswitch.conf file on all cluster nodes have files appearing before nis and dns.
If they are not, edit the corresponding line in /etc/nsswitch.conf by
moving files before nis and dns.

Add the NAS device to the cluster.

From any cluster node, add the device by using the scnas command.

# scnas -a -h myfiler -t netapp -o userid=root

-a

Add the device to cluster configuration.

-h

Is the name of the NAS device you are adding.

-o userid

Is the HTTP administrator login for the NAS device.

At the prompt, type the HTTP administrator password.

Confirm that the device has been added to the cluster.

# scnas -p

For more information about the scnas command, see
the scnas(1M) man
page.
